Another weekend, another wedding in the books! We had an amazing time celebrating Meghan and Eric on Sunday at the Aldie Mansion – so much of an amazing time that I’m still tired on Tuesday night! ; )

My weekend started early with company beer olympics on Friday afternoon. Yes, my company is definitely cooler than yours. Unless you work at Google, in which case, give me a call?

Later that night Tim and I enjoyed a little dinner date in West Chester, courtesy of a birthday gift card from Kelly and Dan that I’ve been saving for a weekend with no plans. Yes, it took this long… #popular. We shared a delicious appetizer and a bottle of champagne, then kept the rest of the night low-key so Tim could get ready for groomsman duties the next day. (I spent Saturday running, photoshoot-ing, errand-ing, manicuring and generally just enjoying my lack of plans!)

On Sunday I headed out to grab Kelly’s boyfriend Dan around 2 (since Kelly and Tim were both already there) and we headed up to the hotel to check in, have a few drinks with friends and head to the ceremony. #theshuttlebusmadeuslate #notthebeer #ipromise

The ceremony and cocktail hour were outside and while I was a bit cold, it was worth it to watch the sun set at this gorgeous venue. We headed inside for dinner, more drinks and dancing, then ended the night at a local bar with a bunch of the guests. Late checkout meant mimosas in bed before heading back to reality – thank goodness we had off on Monday! #canthanglikeiusedto

Edit!* Purple dress is from Rent the Runway – This is my second time renting and my second time in the same dress (the first time around I chose red) so you can be sure that I absolutely LOVE how this style fits!

Overall it was a pretty wonderful weekend, which I think is evident from the lack of photos I had time to take. We loved being at a wedding with ALL of our best friends (the first time that’s happened!) and we can’t wait for another one in a week and a half! .-#fellmadlyforbradley

Getting married and stumped about what to give your girls on your big day? I was recently a bridesmaid for one of my best friends Brittany, and she totally knocked our bridesmaid gifts out of the park!

To keep things simple but also to help us save, part of Brittany’s gift was to pay for our makeup on the big day. This was such a treat for me – I’ve only ever gotten mine done once before and I loved how glamorous I looked – the makeup lasted from 8am all the way through to the next morning! #lazy #sleptinfakeeyelashes

She gave us these little bags the morning of her wedding as we began to get ready, and they each contained a duo of lip glosses from Tarte – the attached card read “Your makeup is on me, but here’s for a touchup!” (lip colors are WCW and Namaste)

The colors are absolutely beautiful on their own, but we chose to layer the lighter shade on first and then add a small amount of the glossy darker shade on top. I hardly ever wear lip gloss but it really pulled the entire look together and I loved how the colors looked on my (slightly tanner) skintone ; )

We also received these gorgeous coverups to wear while we got ready and I’m really excited that I’ll get to wear it again once summer rolls back around. (no lip gloss yet in this picture) All in all, it was the perfect bridesmaid gift – it saved us money and we got to look beautiful on Brittany’s big day!

Wanna recreate her idea for your bridal party? Here’s a free printable – You can tie these to goody bags like Brittany did and write a personal note on the back for each bridesmaid. Happy wedding planning!

The weekend is FINALLY here and I could not be more excited to celebrate the wedding of one of my oldest friends! I met Brittany when we played on the same soccer team in 4th grade and our families have been virtually inseparable ever since. No really, we even own a vacation home together ; ) So for today’s #FridayFavorites, I thought it would be fitting to share a few of my favorite photos from their engagement session last fall in Old City – Enjoy!

Seriously, how adorable are they!? Brittany met Kevin while they were both attending the University of Pittsburgh – She actually dated one of their mutual friends first, but Kevin eventually won her over with his goofy grin and has been making her giggle ever since : ) They’re honeymooning in Italy and I couldn’t be more jealous, but I’ve given them plenty of recommendations for their trip! Mostly pizza related…

I’m leaving work at 2pm today, packing up and heading to dinner with the bridal party followed by a group sleepover at the hotel – hair and makeup starts at 7am! Follow along this weekend on Instagram @drinktheday or check me out on Snapchat @jregerman – I created a custom geofilter just for the weekend and I’ll definitely be posting a full tutorial sometime soon!

Did this week fly by for anyone else, or was that just me? The days seemed slow but I honestly feel like I just dropped Tim off at the airport and now I get to fetch him again this afternoon! Considering making a corny HIMYM-esqe cardboard sign to hold up as he walks towards my car ; )

Even though it was crazy exhausting, I’ve really been missing our bachelorette weekend in Newport – it was so awesome to spend 4 days with such wonderful girls, and in the most picturesque of settings at that. Sharing a few “favorite” snapshots from our trip today – stay tuned for a total Newport travel guide coming soon!

Out for our one “fancy dinner” where the groom sent a bottle of red & a bottle of white (name that song) to the table, then a group picture with the bachelor party we befriended at our favorite outdoor bar!
